Here are a few photos from our Dove shoot. On one level you could call it a bust; we only managed two mourning doves. Like most years, here in our part of Utah, a cold snap last week pushed the mourning doves south. We made up for the lack of mourning doves with Eurasian collared doves.

It was my friend and co-worker Thanye's sons first real dove hunt. He did well with his little 20 gauge Spanish double. He even got an honest double. Of course as always; Thayne was deadly with his 32 gauge Belgian double hammer gun. I did okay with my 16 gauge hammer gun as long as no one is counting birds per shot. For sure it was a great day.
